I resolve...

(not my actual trunk)

...to clean out my car trunk, which is currently filled with clothes to donate, clothes to return, and some other crap that I can't even name.

...to call one out of town friend each weekend. I've lost touch or am losing touch with a lot of folks but if I spent 15 minutes chatting with them every month or two it would be completely different.

...to start writing more on my own time. I'd like to start freelancing, like many reporters at the Daily News who take outside assignments for extra cash and to write pieces that don't fit into the paper.

...to make New Year's resolutions that I can keep. Doh! Too late for that one. Here's a blog post from the NYTimes with tips on making practical resolutions. (Hint: be specific instead of the usual 'lose weight, exercise more' goals.)
